Occupational Injuries

Are you aware that at any given time, approximately 7 million individuals are unable to work due to injuries? Over the course of a lifetime, a staggering 80% of Americans will experience the consequences of work-related injuries, and within this 80%, a substantial majority will face the prospect of recurring incidents.

The genesis of most work-related injuries can be attributed to either accidents or the cumulative effects of repetitive stress and strain on one or more parts of the body. Many occupational roles entail repetitive movements, which, over time, can lead to the accrual of trauma within the musculoskeletal system, ultimately resulting in injury.

Several contributing factors can precipitate such injuries, including suboptimal postures, improper body mechanics, the ongoing impact of repetitive stress and strain, stressful working conditions, and an overall lack of physical fitness. While a notable 92% of these injuries tend to resolve themselves, many individuals require the intervention of a Physical Therapist to facilitate their return to work. At Physical Therapy & Hand Centers, our highly skilled team specializes in addressing musculoskeletal dysfunctions and delving into the root causes of your condition, thus significantly reducing the risk of recurrence. Our goal is to not only alleviate immediate symptoms but to equip you with the tools and knowledge necessary to prevent future injuries and support your long-term well-being.
